Abstract
The photoconductivity has been studied in anthracene by irradiation with 50 kV, 0.4 µ sec X-ray pulses. The temperature dependence of hole mobility can be described in terms of a multiple-trapping mechanism; µh=3.46×102T-1.1[1+Nt/Nvexp (Δε/kT)]-1, whereNt=1.4×1017cm-3andΔε=0.19 eV, while electrons represent µe=3.6×102T-1.3, in the range from 316°K to 238°K. The schubweg per unit field is 2.6×10-5cm2/V for holes, while for electrons this value is 1.8×10-5cm2/V at room temperature. The number of collected carriers increases with temperature with the activation energies of 0.02 eV forT≥270°K and of ∼0.06 eV forT-1.
